Recommended action: Size -c for the client's max history, keep -np 1 (or rely on unified KV -kvu) so one request can use the whole context, and make the client truncate/compact history to the server's context length.
Option: Match server context to client history and truncate client-side [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: Agent/IDE clients on llama-server
Steps:
1. Check slot n_ctx in server logs / GET /props
2. Start with a larger -c and -np 1 (or unified KV)
3. Configure the client's context length to the server's per-slot n_ctx so it compacts history
Expected: Prompts fit; no 400.
